| Cash! Johnny Cash was one of my mother's favorites, and as such, one of mine since I can remember. (still have the very worn sun records) He truely is one of the immortals of music (or for that matter, the world!) This collection is so good, and it gives an excellent retrospective of this great artist's career. Sure there are missing classics, but it also includes some rather rare songs that are not usually found on a "hits collection." It may not be the complete essential, but it is so good that you won't mind. Highly recommended for the novice, wanting to "learn about Johnny " and the die-hard fan. By steve-o (wisconsin) |

| Americana at it's Best! They go together in the good ole' USA, baseball, hotdogs, apple pie and Johnny Cash. American Folk music at it's best. By Uncle Sam (Chicago, Illinois) |
